Have you ever cut coils? Have you ever ridden in something with cut coils?
I have. I cut the coils on the Coupe. I have the exact same car with stock springs too. The lowered car does ride stiffer- totally expected. Part of that is the new struts on the lowered car vs the old ones on the stock car. But ride quality is still quite acceptable to me; I don't feel it was excessively compromised. But above all I don't feel that commercial lowering springs would perform better in any way, shape, or form.
Scared of the notion of cutting them? Do what I did: take the stock springs out and squirrel them away in the garage. Get a set of springs from a scrapyard for free or next to it. Cut them. Run them. Change them out if you don't like it. I never changed mine out...
